PAPER-HOLDER.

Specification of Iietters Patent.

Patented Mar. 1, 1921.

Application filed October 27, 1919. Serial No. 333,481.

To all w hom itmay concern:

Be it known that I, Dr. WILLIAM J. Hnmrz, a citizen of the United States, residing at Utica, in the county of Oneida and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Paper- Holders, of which the following is a specification, reference being bad therein to the accompanying drawing.

My invention relates to a paper holder and I declare the following to be a full, clear, concise and exact description thereof suflicient to enable anyone skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings in which like reference characters refer to like parts throughout the specification.

The object of the invention is to provide a device for holding sheets of paper temporarily upon the padded part of a sectional head rest for dental or other like chairs. The paper holder is designed to improve upon the patent to Elias G. Dayeh, No. 1,245,322 granted Nov. 6, 1917. Furthermore, it permits the user to replace quickly a new sheet of paper upon the padded part of the sectional head rest each time a person occupies the chair, whereby said pad will present a sanitary surface for resting said persons head.

The object will be understood by referring to the drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of one of the pads of a sectional head rest, showing the paper holder attached and the sheet of paper in position;

Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view of the pad shown in Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 is a detail enlarged view in fragment of a ring employed;

Fig. 4 is a detail view, showing a perspective of the paper holder attachment;

Fig. 5 is a detail enlarged view, showing a perspective of a hinge and paper lock employed;

Fig. 6 is a bottom plan view of the pad illustrated in Fig. 1 with the paper holder attached and certain other parts removed.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, the pad of a sectional head rest of a dental or other like chair is represented by 1 and rests upon a plate 2 which has an aperture at 3 forthe projection therethrough of a hollow internally screw threaded tube .4 that is fulcrumed upon gudgeons 55 formed integral with the metal pad frame 6.

Between the metal pad frame 6 and the tures to hold the parts together-in assembled position.

The leaf 7 has an upstanding part 11 that is split from its top edge downward a short distance to form a tongue 12. The tongue 12 is bent over, as clearly shown in Fig. 4, whereby to form one element of a lock to be hereinafter described.

The lower portion of the part 11 is out also to provide another tongue 15 that is bent round to embrace the pivot pin 16 of the hinge.

A second leaf 17 has a recess cut therein to form two free ends or tongues 18-18 that are bent round to engage the pin 16 on opposite sides of the tongue 15. The opposite end of the leaf 17 is split to form three free ends or tongues 22-22 and 23 that are bent round to engage the contiguous part of a metal ring 20. The ring 20 is reduced at 2121 to provide bearings for the tongues 22-22, disposed on either side of the tongue 23, whereby to hold the leaf l7 and connected parts in given location relative to the metal ring 20. The middle tongue 23 rests upon the enlarged center part 24 of the ring 20. The free end of said tongue 23 extends straight down a short distance, whereby to form a locking member 25, under which the upper surface of the tongue 12 of the leaf 7 snaps to hold the contiguous edge of the paper sheet 26 therebetween. The ring 20 is adapted to fit rather snugly around the periphery of the pad 1.

In order to replace a paper sheet'26 upon the pad 1, the user of the chair, grasps manually the ring 20 diametrically opposite the location of the hinge and raises said ring oil the pad 1- and throws it back into the position shown in Fig. 4, whereby to unlock the leaf 17 from the leaf 7 or to disengage the tongue 12 from the locking member 25. He then casts aside the old sheet of paper 26 and replaces it with a new sheet 26. When returning the ring 20 to original position about the periphery of the pad 1, the tongue 12 will snap under the locking member 25, thereby engaging the contiguous edge of a sheet of paper 26, which has been inserted therebetween and also closing the free edge or peripheryof the sheet about the periphery of the pad -1- as illustrated in Fig. 1.

Having thus described my invention what '7 I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. Ina paper holder for dental or like chairs, means for securing a sheet of paper in place upon the pad of the head rest of said chair, a hinge for securing said means in said head rest, and means for locking the parts of said hinge together, whereby to grip the edge of said sheet of paper.

2. Ina paper holder for'dental or like chairs, means for securing a sheetof paper in place upon the pad of said chair, and a hinge for holding saidmeans in place to said pad, said hinge having a tongue adapted to lock the parts of said hinge together, whereby to grip the edge of said sheet of paper.

3.' In a paper holder for dental or like chairs, a metallic ring adapted to embrace the periphery of the padded head, rest of said chair, a hinge for holding said ring to said pad, a tongue on one part of said hinge adapted to lock with a tongue on another partof said hinge, whereby to grip the edge of said sheet of paper therebetween.

4. 111a paper'holder for dental or like chairs, a pad, a hinge carrying paper holding means, and other means for locking the parts of said hinge together, whereby to grip the edge of the paper to aid'in holding the same upon said pad of the chain 5. In a paper holde'r for dental or like cha rs, a pad, ahijnge carrying a ring and tongues on said hinge fo-r locking the parts of said hinge togethe'nwhereb to grip the edge of the paper to'aid in hol ing the same upon the head rest pad ofsaid chair.

In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature. r a
